I am so glad you are here! I've been a working mom for more than 13 years and one thing I know to be true...it's super hard work. But the other thing that's true? I am not alone.  It took me awhile to figure out I wasn't the only mom with a demanding, full-time, round-the-clock career who felt like she couldn't keep it all together. And that's exactly why I'm here. To show you the crazy. To confirm you're wonderful and strong. To prove that balance is NOT a thing. But a fulfilled life is. Join me on this journey!

A Little Bit About Me

​

During the day, I'm the Executive Director for Calm Waters, a nonprofit in Oklahoma City that serves children and families who have experienced loss due to death, divorce or other significant loss, providing free support groups and other services.

 

I've spent the majority of my career in the nonprofit world as a public relations, marketing and fundraising professional. I've traveled the globe, thanks to my work and education, and have a true heart for seeing children and families thrive no matter where they live. 

​

I live in Edmond, Oklahoma and am proud to be the mama of three hoodlums and wife to an incredibly patient man.

 

I am a public speaker, frequently tapped to speak on issues relating to branding, non-profit marketing and management. But my deepest passion is empowering other working moms to resist the pull to achieve work-life balance, instead seeking a fulfilled life. My expertise and real-life perspectives have been heard on stages across Oklahoma, including as a TEDx presenter in 2014 (click here to watch!) and keynote speaker for working parent conferences and as a contributing writer for the national working mom blog, Work It, Mom!
